Heh, Kuuko in a maid uniform.

The last girl finally appears.
Awwwww shit son, another member for Kyohei's pseudo-harem.

Well next ep seems to start with the usual slow stuff, but the new girl seems to be the catalyst to nearing events.

Truth be told as the new girl appears right in the end.

So Aki cannot react to what Kuuko's doing? Haha.

Otherwise, not much of an episode worth noting.

If there is one good comedy in this episode then it's the following,

Moyako was so hilarious giving a down beat lesson to Kyouhei. In fact I really liked seeing Moyako visiting Utao and checking upon her kakashi. In fact Utao looked really happy to talk with Moyako here. Which is good since sometimes she gets the slumps. I loved her serious face along with her blushed face after she punched Kyouhei in the spoiler
those were really nice faces of Moyako. Her walk with Kyouhei was nice since it revealed a lot of stuff about her thinking along with Kyouhei’s thinking in regards to Aki. While I found totally important of her Moyako’s reaction here to Aki’s claim of kakashis being only for destruction. It shows that Moyako is very sadden by this and since she is most likely the girl who loved Aki at first, this is all understandable.

Like many are happy so am I at Mahiru in the following,

but it has to do more with her bringing herself unto Kyouhei most likely getting a good breast feel there in that pic and so a triangle is born. The preview does get me worried in the spoiler
Mahiru looks really deranged as with what appears to be possibly a taser? Is she like tsundere/yandere maybe yangire? In any case all we know of Mahiru is that whatever her kakashi is it has some weird chain/tail like here that is pink. Mahiru’s wonderful landing, eyes and clinging to Kyouhei in the spoiler
does insinuate a triangle and love thing. Just how deep hers is for Kyouhei remains to be seen.

About Aki, although Aki was quite cool here sitting on the bench chilling out. He has a death wish according to the spoiler
quite simply him thinking of destroying the whole village and about Chihaya sounds to me like he wants to join her pretty quickly. Before he even destroys the village or so, I don’t think any family will allow that there. Moreover if he gains power to that crazy kakashi, watch Kyouhei kill it or stop it again. What gets interesting is this guy here. I wonder what is his plan and involvement with Aki.

About Hibino/Kyouhei/Suou, well at first I already loved seeing Hibino and Suou in the spoiler
considering Suou is extremely funny. It only became much better later on when Hibino goes out to take a call from her father at some bar I guess. While it was really nice to see Hibino with Kyouhei here considering it almost lead to Kyouhei confessing unto Hibino and Hibino got a marvelous smile here. It all went down the drain with Suou in the spoiler
now that was funny and at the same time too bad for Kyouhei in failing to confess to Hibino.

As for Hibino, I loved her a lot in the spoiler
that picture and faces towards Kyouhei/Utao were superb and funny. About the preview, well certainly more Mahiru is coming and she looks quite angry there. In fact I fear the worst of her in the spoiler
especially how Hibino is reacting to her inquisition most likely about Kyouhei. While those expressions of hers do lead to perhaps many in believing she could be a killer yandere girl with some tsundere from how one of her expressions looked like in that spoiler above. I do worry over this guy here since from the looks of this blade movement he may be dead in the next episode.

Loved the Kamisama corner in the spoiler
they really showed all these shots of Hibino’s breasts.

BTW Image Stitches in the spoiler
and have to say that Hibino in the pics when she was young was totally adorable but so was Utao in her dress.
More later.

So Moyako knew about Kirio ?

And what does this "Uta-bou" thing means, she's been called this twice, by Sou in the first place and now by Moyako, I'm not sure I understand, is there a pun or something ? I thought it could come from "tabou" meaning being busy at work but why these 2 girls would use the same word play ?

Kind of disappointing, nothing really happened, and Kuuko as a maid was too much.

Ughh... I still cannot bring myself to like any facet of Kuuko's personality. Her nosy, bitchy, slutty attitude is damn annoying.

I don't see any problem with Utao's face muscles. She's smiled a few times throughout the show.

Yay, new girl. Let the Kyohei jock riding begin.

good ep though hoped something would've happened. so the detective is starting to poke his nose into his daughter's work, but he doesn't know that she too is investigating the village and what's happened in the past. i found it weird that kuuko came up with aki being a mass murderer with the event that happened 6 years ago.

so utao and kirio are trying to become friends.

Woo mahiro makes her appearance finally!

can't wait for the next ep.

I thought that Aki would be humiliating Kuuko or something like that since they were living together, but I guess not. Right when those two make up, of course another person joins the fray and makes things complicated.

Great developments as usual in this episode and a fantastic direction despite the lack of budget, plus Kamisama Dolls still has the best characters out there (and a new interesting one has appeared it seems). Seeing that 13 episodes clearly won't be enough to resolve everything, I hope there'll be a second season now.

omg there is no longer any doubt that Utao is a confirmed 100% is a bro-con. One less rival lol. When Kuuko's dad was bullying Utao she's so cute.

The suspense is really good. Better than the other currently airing anime Steins Gates. Raise score by 1 point.

Kuuko trying to seduce Aki and wanting a reaction was a interesting move. Utao/Kirio making up is adorable. Having only seen about 5 seconds of her, the new girl looks like a yandere to me. She looks quite powerful too, more than Utao/Kirio and maybe more in control so even more than Kyohei at the moment unless Kyohei powerups a little. That's just my guess hehehe...

All we know of her kakashi is that is has some tail like but whether it may have the same features as Epyion from Wing Gundam remains to be seen.

Aki is still the most interesting character to me in this show. Kuuko was hilarious, i was surprised to see how much Aki respects her. And it was sweet to see Aki remembering Chihaya and noono ;_;
bleh. another girl to Kyohei´s harem. It sucks, since we have 4 eps left.

So this Kuga-Hyuuga enmity is sort of a passive-aggressive-we-hate-you-but-not-too-much thing or what? Having Kirio agree not to attack Utao is not what enemies do... Or even meeting to discuss that in the first place.

I'm also having a hard time understanding the role of that weird Kuuko... what does she want? Is it just a token "weird chick" character? Nine episodes are gone out of 13, so... four episodes to finish this story will definitely be rushed. Well unless they are planning on a second season.

No they won't rush it. Actually with this development, I hope they end this anime in this arc.
so they gonna end the anime ver. at vol.7 of the manga

Manga now it's still going on till vol.9
so, if there's chance for 2nd season, definitely not as soon as we hope...

okay deleted my last post, here is the nicer version of it lol.

Communication is something enemies can do too. Think war, negotiating for peace, rival gangs, etc...

Kuuka just wanted excitement, like Haruhi Suzumiya. Crazy in that regard.

That detective gave Utao quite a scare back there just by talking to her and asking her various questions including the one relating to the incident with the dolls. (I <3 her cute reaction btw) She must've been so intimidated that when he finally left she yelled for him not to come back and...threw rice on the ground? Is that some kind of custom to drive away evil spirits or something?

Aki, this guy has no reaction when it comes to having a girl seduce him. I guess Sensei was the only girl for him.

This part here.
Muahahahahaha... Utao can be such a bro-con. She thinks she has already won when Hibino seemed liked she didn't care when Kyouhei went walking alone with Moyako.

But unfortunately, she gets one MORE rival instead.

Its more like we-hate-you-and-you-hate-us-because-its-a-tradition-of-decades-to-do-so but its such an old and archaic thing that only the oldest family members actually feel that hate. The younger generation are in for a ride because its their responsibility to the family and not because they actually feel that hate.

As for Kuuko. You have never really met anyone like her in real life? Someone who wants a dynamic sort of life. Anything happening. Tornado, tsunami, some worldwide cataclysm, dystopia, anything that is not what is now.There are quite a lot of people like that in this generation right now. Someone so drawn to danger that she wants the hell to open up right now for all she cares, as long as its different from casual everyday.

Now it's pretty much confirmed that it was Kyouhei who fired that beam from Kukuri's left arm a few eps back and not Utao. Kyouhei really needs to get a kakashi for himself... I've been waiting for that to happen for ages...

Kuuko's interrupted seduction of Aki put a smile on my face for some reason.

And finally the last improtant character joins the fray.

The talk between Moyako and Kyouhei was also pretty interesting. It must be really weird to suddenly hear you have another brother.And last of course we got the appearance of Mahiru who seems to (or pretends to) like Kyouhei a little too much. I wonder what'll happen with her.

Would of been a memorable episode, if Aki had a funny reaction to Kuuko advances and does he want to destroy the village tradition or the people? Hope it doesn't include the small children...

Super confirm that Utao has a brother complex, but w/ a additional little brother added to the mix, she might let go her older brother complex for a younger boy. XD

That awfully looked like the same attitude towards Chihaya that Aki had. Would it mean something as in Kuuko x Aki? It could be a foreshadow but who knows.

IMO I could just not believe they would put a collage of pictures just of the breasts of Hibino and if I could get a clean version of it, then those pics would be a keeper.

No, it's not cool at all. They're not "doing it good" either. The show has proven that it can be good without the ever fateful loli present invading a show. Utao is the token loli stuck with all the generic loli tropes simply to pleasure and pander to the lolicon fanbase. Utao's "moe" moments are ridiculously forced and her bro-complex is disgustingly irritating and pointless. There is zero reason for her being such a bro-con. And judging from how the show goes and will continue going, the whole bro-con thing will never be addressed whatsoever. Placed there so the otaku can eat it all up like the lolicons they are.

I agree but there has to be some kind of guarantee of selling the show. Unforunately with the times that are now economically no one wants a problem like Gonzo to end up as thus why I think the loli invasion happened with this show. No one is sure that this show would sell without some elements.

Agree, it is and working wonderfully. I would not let myself be bothered by that point though.
Wasabi said:

Yes they are but I ignore them seeing many are in other shows I watch. I don't see this being bad for this show in particular as in disturbing my enjoyment of it.

I don't agree, there is a reason for her and IMO it has to do in the beginning. I think she was saved by Kyouhei so WTF is wrong if she wants to lose her innocence to her brother? She owes his life to him. Sure incest blah blah blah but it will also sell out due to that point.

In regards to Otaku stuff well the anime change and all its elements like the lolicon stuff you mention and MOE shaped up the Otakus so they are not what they are but what they became by watching what made them. You see with I did there?

Point is that if you let yourself be troubled by elements like that in anime you will never enjoy shows properly. Sure you can bitch at it but it will just blow out some steam you have and I do that too BTW.
